It truly has been a hot minute since I last posted. I've been as active as ever over on Instagram, and rambling endlessly on Twitter, however my darling little blog has been unattended. After stumbling into my second year of law school, and discovering the wondrous television show that is Schitt's Creek (okay, that was only in the last month...), blogging has simply become secondary in my list of priorities. I'm getting this down in writing - I'm going to try and get into blogging more regularly! June is on the horizon! June was chosen as the month to represent pride and advocate for LGBTQ+ communities to commemorate the Stonewall Riots in Greenwich, NYC, which occurred at the end of June 1969. Pride month represents the coming together of intersecting communities, the impact of LGBTQ+ people around the world, and the push for equality that we continue to fight for. In honour of this month, many people in the community are choosing to read exclusively LGBTQ+ books in June, which is a fantastic way to share more queer stories around the community, and read a more diverse array of stories. However since I tend to read almost exclusively queer fiction in any month of the year, I don't think pride month is required to motivate me to diversify my reading. I will be planning out a small and tentative TBR list though, to keep myself on track! June will be a very busy month for me! I have my finals and exams for university this semester, as well as my brother's wedding! I won't be doing much leisurely reading until the middle of the month, however I am participating in two blog tours, one of which is PERFECT for kick-starting your own pride month TBR.
Some other titles I'm hoping to get to this month post-wedding celebrations...
Here's to queerness! Here's to pride month, and to showcasing queer authors, readers, characters and storylines. Let me know what you're reading this month in a comment here, or come talk to me on Twitter or Instagram! Tessa x Instagram | Twitter | Goodreads
